Recently, Wizards fans have been depressed.

The team was controlled by a bullshit Chinese guy who didn't understand anything, not only sent away the team's head star Arenas, but also selected a group of inexplicable guys.

Originally, I was looking forward to waiting for Arenas to return from injury to lead the Wizards back to the playoffs, but now it's fine, Arenas' injury is healed, but he has already gone to the Timberwolves!

Now that the regular season is about to start, the Wizards have no news of any trades. Is that lunatic planning to play with the current team's lineup?

Although the vast majority of fans are not professional basketball commentators, they can also realize that the current Wizards team does not even have a superstar.

Although Jamison and Butler are both All-Star players, and they are also known as the Big Three of the Wizards along with Arenas, but these two are obviously not stars. Just look at last season without Arenas. The team record speaks for itself!

Which strong team in the NBA does not have a star to support it?

Even the Pistons team, known as the civilian team, also has Billups and Ben Wallace!

"Hey, are you going to watch the preseason game tomorrow?"

"If you don't go, what are you looking for? What can you expect from the current Wizards? Do you want to see the team's fiasco?"

"Then I won't go either, shit wizard, go to hell!"

...

On October 6, the preseason officially started, and the Wizards played against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In this game, the attendance rate of the Wizards' home stadium MCI Center Arena was very low, and a large number of vacancies appeared.

Obviously, a series of operations of the Wizards this summer made many Wizards fans angry, and they did not hesitate to use this method to protest and retaliate.

But in this game, the Wizards won.

The reason why the Wizards can win has nothing to do with itself. The main reason is that the star of the Cavaliers, LeBron James, only played 19 minutes. Most of the other time, the Cavaliers are in a large-scale rotation.

In fact, the Wizards are the same. Jamison and Butler played only a little over 20 minutes. Rookies such as Beverly, Green and Jordan Jr. all played a lot of time and performed well.

The two teams played tepidly throughout the game, and there was no particularly fierce confrontation, so it didn't attract people's attention.

The big news of the day came from the Los Angeles Clippers.

On the day before the start of the preseason, the champion Lang Griffin in training suddenly felt discomfort in his left leg. After undergoing an examination, it was found to be a stress fracture of the kneecap in his left knee. The Clippers officially announced that Griffin would be postponed. The date of the NBA debut, and there is a strong possibility that he will not be able to play for the entire season.

As soon as the news came out, everyone's heart suddenly "clicked", and a person's name involuntarily appeared in their minds.

Auden!

He was reimbursed for the season before his NBA debut, which is almost exactly the same as Oden at the beginning!

Could it be that Griffin will become the second Oden?

At the same time, someone remembered Wang Xiao's name.

During the trial training before the draft, Wang Xiao praised Griffin, as if he liked it very much.

But in the draft, Wang Xiao directly exchanged the No. 1 pick for the Clippers' No. 2 pick, and gave Griffin to the Clippers.

At that time, many people were very strange. Don't you think Griffin is very good? How did you pass it on to someone else?

Combined with Griffin's reimbursement for the season now, someone finally reacted.

"Damn it! Didn't that guy know about it a long time ago? This is too exaggerated! Could it be that he can predict the future?"

"That's not necessarily true. If he really has vision, he will replace Arenas?"

Someone said the same thing.

On the opening day of the preseason, Arenas also made his debut in the Timberwolves.

In the first 25 minutes of playing, Arenas scored 31 points and 5 assists, and his efficiency was frighteningly high.

After the game, Arenas said that he felt quite good after returning from injury, and believed that he could still maintain such an efficient competitive state in the next games.

Many Timberwolves fans shouted that they found a treasure. The Celtics robbed Garnett back then. Timberwolves fans have always been worried about it. They never thought that one day their own team would be able to rob other stars.

In this regard, Wang Xiao did not make any comments.

After Arenas was traded to the Timberwolves, there may not be another gun incident, but this does not mean that he will always maintain an efficient state.

In another time and space, Arenas was only suspended for 50 games due to the gun incident, not as many games as he missed due to injuries in the 2009 season.

But when he returned, his performance dropped sharply, and he was only 29 years old at the time, still at the peak of a player.

Wang Xiao doesn't know how long Arenas can maintain his peak state if there is no suspension for gunmen, but in any case, he is incomparable with Curry, and his character determines that he will not tolerate that he is not the core of the team The situation of the main force.

So trading him is an inevitable decision, and there is no need for any hesitation or regret afterwards.

...

The Wizards' first show turned out to be very good, and Curry and Harden performed very well as rookie starters.

But immediately after the second preseason game, the Wizards' starting lineup was completely different from the first game.

Starting point guard Beverly, shooting guard Miller, small forward Danny Green, power forward Brac, center Jordan Jr.

Many people were baffled by this pure bench lineup, wondering what the hell the Wizards were doing.

But this lineup played a very good effect at the beginning. The physical fitness of the five players on the field is quite good, the defense is active and hard-working, and the non-stop pressing even makes the opponent scrambled.

However, this lineup is obviously signed in terms of offense, and there are almost no points for the five people on the court to initiate an offense.

So although the opponent's scoring is effectively limited, the scoring efficiency of one's own side is not high.

A few minutes later, Wang Xiao replaced Mike Miller and let Harden play.

Things changed immediately.

Harden is a typical guard who needs to attack with the ball. When the ball is in his hands, he can do many things.

Driven by Harden, the scoring efficiency of this lineup has improved significantly.

But at this moment, Wang Xiao changed teams again.

This time it was still a massive rotation.

Except for Danny Green, all other players were replaced.

Curry, Nick Young, Jamison and McGee play.

The attacker with the ball changed from Harden to Curry.

At the same time, McGee, who was on the inside, began to frequently pull to the outside to pick and roll for Curry, which caused a headache for the opponent's center. He didn't know whether he should go out to defend.

At this time, he was the only one left on the inside line, because the other four players were pulled to the outside line by the Wizards shooters. If he followed him out, the inside line would be completely empty!

In the gap of his hesitation, McGee blocked the defender marking Curry, and Curry, who pulled out a little gap, made a three-pointer without hesitation, and the basketball hit the net.

"I'm going! What the hell is this?"

At this time, the opposing player's psychology may be broken.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that the preseason is a game of grinding the lineup, but there are three sets of lineups with very different styles in less than 10 minutes. What the hell is this?
